The second-largest supermarket operator in the US, Supervalu, has unveiled its ‘Premium Fresh & Healthy’ programme, a customised US$1bn remodelling and new store opening scheme designed to enhance customers’ shopping experience at a shareholder meeting in New York yesterday (15 November).


 


The company said that the scheme uses local market insight and corporate centres of excellence in merchandising and marketing to “deliver the right store, the right offer and the right product mix to fit the neighbourhood demographics of each store.”


 


“SUPERVALU’s Premium Fresh & Healthy programme is all about surprising and delighting the customer,” said Duncan Mac Naughton, Supervalu executive vice president, merchandising & marketing. “Our extensive research tells us that grocery retailing today should provide consumers with products that allow them to ‘turn the dining room lights back on.’ This programme seeks to deliver compelling, timely and localised offers at the right price through combined scale, customer insight and market knowledge.”
